Found August 08, 2007 on The Parlayer:
I'll skip all the jokes about former Detroit Tigers first baseman Cecil Fielder doing a McDonald's spot. I'm not going to say "Did you know that if you stab Cecil Fielder Big Mac special sauce comes out instead of blood?", because I'm above that. I won't mention the irony that the only legit baseball star in Detroit during the 1990's who also happened to be like 275 lbs. plugged the most unhealthy fast food item of his time (if it were today, I think Cecil would be pimping that monstrosity of a chicken/potato/gravy/cheese/biscuit bowl that The Colonel offers). Instead I'll just let you focus on a cute commercial when cubby little Prince adored his slugging papa and when said papa had yet to make a generous $580K donation to Donald Trump's Atlantic City casino.

  • I know I can't beat up Prince Fielder now, but I don't think I could have taken him when 9 either.
  • Ever since I heard he hit a homerun in Tiger Stadium when he was 9, I've feared Prince...
  • It's a shame that those two don't get along anymore. It would have been such a feel good story.
  • Nothing like forcing obecity down American's throughts.
  • Cecil was even being a dick then. "Come on throw the ball. you little fat motherfucker." That last part wasn't in the commercial, but I'm sure it's on the DVD extras.
  • Beat up Cecil all you want. The fruit doesnt fall far from the tree. Prince has his own issues. His girl trapped him by way of the oldest trick in the book - pregnancy. He recently had his nutz clipped, that was her idea, she knew her stay with him would be short lived so she wanted to ensure her meal ticket. Poor guy, I guess you sew what you reap. Him and his old lady equals "The Prince and the Pauper", she comes from an old racist family from a small southern town, I guess her family overlooked his color when they saw the big bucks.
